[Ayan Kumar Halder]

Hi Xen Maintainers/developers,


As part of my talk, I wish to provide some examples of tasks that a 
newbie can easily pick up and contribute.

This need not be a dedicated project, but something that can be 
contributed on an ad-hoc basis.

The idea is to get more people interested in Xen project. :)


I found some examples of this :-

1. Misra C fixes - Refer "Misra rule 10.3 violations report script" . 
Luca has provided an awesome script to identify the MISRA violations. 
This can be used to provide fixes.

2. https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Outreach_Program_Projects - I think 
this page provides some pointers, but I am not sure if this is up to date.


Please let me know if there are more of these examples.


Kind regards,

Ayan

TBH, I think doing MISRA fixes is not that attractive for a new comer,
as those are (mostly?) non-functional fixes, but I might be wrong.

I'm not sure how up to date this is.
